Preventing an employee from wearing a veilis not discriminating against them, one of Austria’s highest courts has ruled.

In the landmark decision, Austria’s Supreme Court (OGH) said that if clothing prevents communication, an employer may legally dismiss them.

The decision was made in the case of a woman who already wore an Abaya, which is an Islamic overgarment, and headscarf, but who was fired after she told her boss she wanted to wear a veil covering her face.

Logic would dictate that no dress code can prevent someone from believing whatever they want to believe, therefore it cannot be discriminatory against believers.

Logic also dictates that life is full of choices and each choice precludes other choices.

Freedom means the ability to make choices. For example, the freedom to be a Sikh in Canada means that a person can dress and believe in the Sikh precepts. But it does not mean he should be exempt from motorcycle helmet laws. Neither does it mean the RCMP should change the traditional uniform in order to accommodate his turban. The freedom to choose the RCMP uniform, the motorcycle helmet or the turban is freedom defined. One makes a choice, which has consequences for other choices.

Yet Muslims sometimes feel that their arbitrary decision to wear incompatible clothing for the job (often made after getting the job and working at it for some time), should force the company to change their policy even if that policy is set by safety regulations, as was the case in an Ontario UPS warehouse.

Or like the case in the UK where a woman applied for and got a job at a hair salon and then insisted on her "right" to wear a full head cloth covering all of her hair — when showing off a great hairstyle was a central requirement for employees of the store. She sued for discrimination as well as lost wages.

And then we have the French law banning the face cloth altogether, a law, to borrow from Shakespeare, "more honored in the breach than in the observance"

Austria will likely soon learn that the sharia is not something governments choose. It is something they will get if they are not prepared to fight large numbers of people ready to use violence to Isalmify Western nations.

This is it Victor, very sensible & bold statement. Moreover, the turban for a sikh is NOT a part of his religion but a tradition.
A practicing sikh (called ‘khalsa’) observe & bear five symbols of his religion, namely; a boxer style underwear, a steel bangle, a small dagger, a wooden comb, and unshorn hairs. All collectively called five K’s. Nowhere in their scriptures or tenets it says that sikhs have a wear a turban.
Sikhs lied to & misguided the Canadian government in believing that turban is a part of sikh religion and they’ve gotten away with it since the days of turdo sr.

Keith Barnes is spot on. it is a flag, a show of unity, a way to easily spot fellow invaders in a crowd and finally … a big middle finger to the host country.
And I use the term host in the host/parasite paradigm.

Ban the Burqa and ban the Berks who wear it also.
There is not one word in the Quaran that says a woman has to cover her face. If you look at videos of male Muslims in their home city’s, most of them wear western cloths, it is only when they come to the West that they wear traditional clothing. This is nothing more than a statement, ‘Look we are here, we are going to stay, step aside and make way for us’.

If we give in to these people, we shall be signing our own death warrant.

I don’t discriminate against people, I discriminate against the Burka and any face covering. I would really like to see it banned. A prerequisite to entering the country, don’t expect to wear that identity cover here.

Imagine young kids who have developed a sense of fear seeing these goblins coming toward them or roaming around the neighbourhood in their black bag and mask. Every day is Halloween for some musloids so you better have some treats ready for them.
